Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy

Chemistry

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. When an electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positively charged. When another electron is attempted to be removed from the same atom,this requires more energy than the first one, as the attractive force between the electrons and protons are greater owing to the presence of the extra proton. In order to break this force we need more energy to remove the second electron. Hence the second ionization energy is greater than the first ionization energy.

Hi!

Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy?

The reason second ionization energy is larger is because it takes more energy to remove an electron from a poistively charged ion than it does from an neutral atom.

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.862 J at 691 nm?
Inga [223]
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) = 
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.

A lake in rural maine drops in ph from 7 to 5 as a result of acid rain falling into it. how has the h+ ion concentration change
Jlenok [28]
The H+ concentration in the lake has increased as a result of the acid rain.
The original pH of the lake was 7, which mean the water is neutral, but due to the acid rain, it drops to 5. This means, that the water has become acidic and how have more hydrogen ion. The H+ concentration in the lake has 100 times compares with its original pH.
